Dear Readers,

When you read you can’t just think about what happens, you always have to be asking why. You always have to ask how it connects to what’s true in the world outside the book.

That’s an important skill. It’s one that will you serve you well throughout your life–thinking critically, looking for the bigger picture, understanding how complex things can be.

And reading–especially reading fiction–is the best place to practice those skills. That’s why I try to surround myself with readers. Not only do readers know more about the world, but they also ask more interesting questions about it.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
